first of all, i HEART amarok. very featurefull, very useable and just plain
pretty. but while it works just fine @home, my box here @work is not playing
nice with the gstreamer engine. the xine engine works, but what i want is
gstreamer (crossfade doesn't seem to work with xine).
anyway, it seems that gstreamer can't understand what to do
with /dev/sound/dsp. i'm using alsa, and since i can use the xine engine, i
have to assume it's not my kernel config or permissions. i have to be
missing something in gstreamer. here's what's in my world file:
$ grep gst /var/lib/portage/world
media-plugins/gst-plugins-ogg
media-plugins/gst-plugins-vorbis
media-plugins/gst-plugins-mad
media-plugins/gst-plugins-alsa
media-libs/gstreamer
media-libs/gst-plugins
media-plugins/gst-plugins-lame
and here's amarok's debug output. any suggestions?

When you can't run no more you crawl.
When you can't do that, you find someone to carry you.
